Evansville SWAT team raids wrong house in internet threat case


The SWAT team attempted to execute a search warrant on an anonymous Internet user, but destroyed the home of an innocent grandmother instead.
The SWAT team in Evansville, Indiana, dressed in full protective gear, wanted to make an example of an anonymous Internet user who made malicious remarks and threats against the police in Evansville.
On tracing the IP address involved, members of the Midwest town's SWAT team plotted their raid on the alleged home of the person behind the malicious remarks, posted on an Internet forum.
To really make their point, they invited a local television crew to accompany them on the raid, in order to catch the whole thing on camera... read more and view video of raid.
